class D airspace is not identified by a shaded magenta region
this identifies where class E airspace switches from beginning at 1,200 ft AGL to 700 ft AGL
the magenta shaded areas will always represent changes in the floor of class E airspace
below that airspace is class G
Class G Airspace

Engine Failure
...
airspeed best fieldchecklist memory items
point in the direction of your best landing option first and then worry about troubleshooting
Slow flight
...
nice job, I can tell you've reviewed the SOPs
don't climb during the recovery, maintain your altitude
Power-off Stall
...
good job
Position Reports
...
make sure to include your altitude in the position report
you can use the HSI to determine location around lake apopka if you're not sure (you should mainly use visual references)
Spin Recovery
...
the reason for reducing power to idle is to reduce the angle of attack

good job on flight school procedures
Inoperative Equipment
...
remember that an item may be indicated as required as part of the CEL, but this does not mean the airplane is not airworthy if it is listed as not required for a certain operation in the KOEL
remember that many airport lighting systems are pilot controlled so you cannot count on having a lit runway at night
you can attempt to use your cellphone in flight with a radio failure if you're at a low altitude and near a populated area with cell service
review light gun signals
Emergency Procedures
...
review and memorize all memory items for emergency procedures (checklist)
Collision Avoidance
...
good job
remember that we transition to cruise climb when crossing 1,000 ft AGL
look into what constitutes IFR or MVFR conditions at an airport

...
good job with flows
thank you for coming in early, I appreciate it
practiced takeoffs and landings (normal)
good job with airspeeds and pattern distances
don't forget about trim adjustments when adding flaps and on short final
allow the airplane to descend a little bit more before beginning the roundout
GO AROUND WHEN THE LANDING ISN'T WORKING OUT!!!

...
you need to come in better prepared for our lessons
this is non-negotiable
the items on the lesson must be reviewed and practiced prior
come in earlier for flights
this will give us much more useful time in the airplane
additionally, get TOLD / Weight and Balance done before coming in
make sure to load in flight plan before takeoff
REVIEW THE BRAVO AIRSPACE NEAR THE AIRPORT
slow flight
increase power (following guidance from SOPs)
review SOPs for both clean and landing configuration
power off stall
you can bring in 20/30 degrees of flaps below 85 KIAS, not 80
make "stall warning" and "stall" callout
be more aggressive setting pitch during the recovery so that you minimize loss of altitude
power on stall
you don't try to lose 100 feet of altitude before entering
add power and increase pitch at 55 KIAS
emergency descent
set bank angle first and allow the nose to come down

...
for next lesson
redo all circled questions on the pre-solo quiz
write neatly so that I can read it please
be ready to discuss required documents
be ready to explain each required inspection
be ready to explain how to determine if an airplane is airworthy with inoperative equipment
fueling
remember that the cable that is connected to an unpainted metal surface is known as the bonding OR grounding cable depending on the setup of the fuel system
